Saw no thread for this great drummer. Have the Alice Cooper "Welcome to My Nightmare" concert DVD and I just absolutely love those Camcos with the horizontal bass drums he's playing. And that 6.5x14 Aristocrat he plays just sounds awesome. Last I checked he's still playing gigs in the Toronto area.

I either started or contributed (can't remember which) to a Whitey thread a couple of years ago. I guess it didn't get much action in the meantime, and so got deleted.

This guy was a huge influence on me back when I was a teen. Either of you heard Bush? Not the "Bush" Bush, but the Canadian band Bush featuring Domenic Troiano that put out one album in 1970. Check out the links below. Absolute freakin' awesome boogaloo shit!!!!

He was also Bette Midler's drummer in the 1979 movie The Rose... he played the very same horizontal double-bass Camco set in it too. Although he had added a set of Rogers Big R concert toms and swapped the 6.5x14 Aristocrat for a 5x14 Big R Dynasonic here.

Cool track, Polly. I've been getting into Lou Reed and the Velvets over the past year or so. Really ashamed of myself that I didn't like that stuff when it first came out.

BonzBon and Polly: check out the first Bush link I posted: "Backstage Girl". Dig what Whitey's playing at about 1:30 in the drum breakdown and guitar solo. HAYSUS!

If anyone really likes the Bush stuff, I know where you might be able to find the record...

I didn't know he played on Rock n Roll Animal. So I guess I've heard him a lot :)

Band mates of mine were(are) Velvets freaks, so I got inundated with them. But don't feel bad; I think it's kind of refreshing to discover something you might have ignored in your youth. New ears and eyes make it all worthwhile!
